El tiempo y las estaciones - Overview

Would you like to know how to talk about the weather in Spanish? Or which are the most popular weather expressions in Spanish?

Introducción (Introduction)

Chatting about the weather is something everybody can relate to — from your friends to that random person you met at the airport. And even though it’s small talk, what better way to practice your Spanish skills? Or as I’d like to say… for breaking the ice (romper el hielo)? Whether you are traveling to a Spanish-speaking country, having a conversation with your Spanish-speaking friends, or trying to be cheery in a store, the weather is an easy conversation starter or filler. Everyone’s willing to vent a little about the weather — it’s too hot, too rainy, too cold, and so on.
